Homo othor unices It wcro proposed to
have ns inHtiy ns thirteen wards.
Mo Oue Offer* Objection.
President Honry W. Wood, of tho
Chamber of Commerce, spoke of tho
vital Interest of the chamber, not In
politics, fbut In the upbuilding of tho
city along the best lines. Mr. Von
dorlehr asked If there wcro any one
to speak ngnlnst the proposed plan of
leillstrlctlng the city, and no one of?
fered objeotlon. Mr. Lumsden moved that
that part of tho report be recommend?
ed for adoption, and the plan of mak?
ing four wards was recommended. 11
to 1. Mr. Brown, of Washington Ward,
being the only negative. Mr. Moore, Ms
colleague from South Blchmond. voting
for the paper. Mr. Nelson said on roll
t.-all that ho believed in the plan, nnd
voted for It, though against the pro?
test of some of his constituents.
Then came debate long and earnest
over the more Important part of tho
report* the resolution requesting u
ehartcr channe creating an administra?
tive hoard to supercede In executlvo
management of the city departments
fourteen Council committees. Mr.
Bonntree, of the special committee,
spoke of It as the way In which large
cbfpbr. lions now mnnnged their busi?
ness enterprises, and as practically tho
method now In successful operation in
Toronto and other cities. He was slow
id believe that there was a lobby of
oily employes ncalnst It, saving that
no employe who was giving a fair j
day's work for his pay could object,
and the sooner the others were known
and eliminated the better
lloyd Indorse* lleport.
James N. Boyd spoke earnestly, tell- :
lug of the efforts in all lines of trade
to do away with cumbersome ways \
ol carrying on business. He wouldn't '
come down night after night to at?
tend i<> the city's business himself, he j
j.ilrt. and wouldn't ask others to do;
it for nothing. The city should pay I
10 have its work done, and well done.
"J indorse the report." he said. "While ,!
we have an honest council, we can j
put !i into effect. It may save a great j
loss in the future."
ti '/,. Morris, of the committee, said
t'int the report did not offer perfec?
tion, but a lone departure from anti
Qiiated methods. The only oppositicr.
he said, was es to the method of elec?
tion, and because It did not go far
enough and include the fire and po?
lice board*. He favored election by ;
the people, and wa? satisfied that tho i
voters would rut Into office men they j
c<>uld trust. If they did not they had !
only themselves :o blarre. and would
get government as good as they de-J

encounter useless opposition.
? llcttor Tlinn c'ouiniisslnn.
Judge George L. Christian said that'
after close study he believed the plan
presented separating legislative and
executive departments according to
basic principles-, was a hotter form
than v. hat Is known as the commission. ;
ar.d would give the city a government '
of which it might proud. John C.
Freeman Illustrated present oiumsl
rcss by telling of the six-year effort
to get a w hnrf. which no one had
opc-T.ly opposed, and which had yet
hung lire for live years. Dr. VI. S. '
Callsch thought the plan for an Ad?
ministrative Board went straight to '
the crux of the situation, cutting
through all red tape, giving business
management and leaving the Council
tree to li gislatc. He believed the '
people couhl be trusted with the elec?
tion; that they could govern them?
selves better than any special class j
could govern for them.
The first note of opposition came 1
from George McD. Blake, a member of
the Council, rnut not of tho committee. ;
Hc^favored the plan, but opposed pop?
ular election of the commissioners on
the ground that tho best men would
hot enter such a contest, and that too
Mnnll a portion of the electorate was
.I'.inllfltd to vote.
lllrnchlierg Amendment.
To test the sense of the committee, '
Mr. Hlrsehhcrg moved to strike out
the exemption of the Fire, Police and
Health Boards, putting nil depart?
ments under one board. Chairman Pol?
lock, of the special commit too, said
that the point had been very carefully
considered. He was frank to say that
for political reasons tho amendment
would greatly endanger and might
occasion the defeat of the whole plan. 1
Further, those departments are now;
mannged by commissioners, who are
not In the Council, and whose func?
tions are purely executive, und the i
boards are limited by Council action
ns to their expenditures. All three
wcro s well managed ns to compel
tho commendation of the community, '
and there was no pressing renson for
chnngc. Further, the newly elected
commissioners would have all they ;
could do to familiarize themselves
with the work of tho various depart- :
monts. Later It might be wise to con- [
solldnte the Fire nnd Volicc Depart- i
merits under the administrative board, j
He thought the Health Board should 1
always be made up of scientific men i
who gave their services and skill to
tho city.
Much llunlncKH to MannRc.
City Attorney Pollard reminded the j
committee that Richmond was the only
city of Its size owning its gas, water ]
and electric plants. Some own their
water works, a few gas, and none that
he knew of their electric plants, mak?
ing the burdens of business manage?
ment heavier here than in other places.
The^ School Board, he explained, wns
beyond the question?n State 'board
over which the Council had no control. I
Mr. Umlauf1 favored the plan pro
vldlng all the boards were consoll- |
dat/id, holding that men sitting daily ;
could transact business better than j
any board or committee meeting twice
a month. "If you want a clean nnd ,
up-to-date government. I am with I
you," he concluded. "If you w*nt to .
go half way, I am not with you." |
When the roll wns called he voted j
no.
Mr. Gunst said that In redlstrlcting, !
the city was doing what he had advo
cated In H'09. Ills plan then was for:
u Council 'of eleven paid men, to sit j
in dally scs-rdon. While he still be- !
lievod it superior, he found const I- !
tuttonn] dlflleultles, and was Impressed j
with the Importance of action. "1 do ;
not approve -of the plan entirely." he
said, "but I oppose tampering with It
so as to make its passage dangerous.
If you feel you need a change?and
God knows we do need one?vole for
this proposition. Don't mess it up so
that when adopted the committee that
j fathered it won't recognize it."

BRIEF RESPITE FOR
CAMPAIGN WORKERS
Tho 400 workers engaged In collect?
ing contributions and donations In tho
S15O.Q00 Young woman's Christian
Association building campaign have
been granted a respite from their la?
bors for Thanksgiving Day, although
it Is probable thut many will keep
?mi working to-day. Reports from tho
forty teams made at headquarters
yesterday aggregated JOG.131. ?8,043
of which was collected during the day.
It had been Intended by the workers
to pile up a total of $100.000 by
Thanksgiving, and as several among
the most successful solicitors failed to
report yesterday it 1b probable that
this ambition may have been realized.
At the end of the midday luncheon
the Rev. jftmci Huchunan, of the As?
sociated Charities, was" Introduced and
addressed the workers. Dr. Buchanan
said that no form of endeavor so ap
oealed to him as that which In any
manner tended to uplift or benefit wo?
mankind. *
During the absence of H. W. Wood,
chairman of the campaign executive
committee, O. A. Hawkins, of the cam?
paign committee, presided. Mr. Haw?
kins did not neglect, however, to re?
mind the several teams of the great
necessitv for continued labor, saying
to them that the first ?100,000 was
very probably moro easily collected
than the next 550,Ouo would be.

WANT STATE BOARD
TO TAKE UP MATTER
Norfolk, Va? November 29.?The
?ta-te School Trustees' Association to?
day took up tho suggestion of Attor?
ney-General Williams, and udopted a
resolution appointing a committee con?
sisting of State Superintendent J. D.
Kggleston, two superintendents and
two trustees to take up with tho State
Board of Education the price of school
hooks.
B. Hilton Jackson, who offered the
resolution, said politics and book pub?
lishers are the greatest meriuce to the
public schools of the State,
The trustees also urged tho Legisla?
ture to amend the law to provide that
tho assessment for school purposes
made by the boards of school trustees
shall be adopted by the county super?
visors and city councils, the only re
structlon being that the legal mnxl
: mum of taxation shall not be exceeded.
A doctor of agriculture for every
1 county Is coming within the next ten
! years, said Dr. C. G. Creelman, presl
1 dent of the Agricultural College of On?
tario, Canada, to-nig.vt' In his address
at the teachers' conference. What has
been found'out about agriculture must
be told to tho farmer direct, he de?
clared, and tho doctor will administer
to the Rick field just as tho doctor of
? medicine administers to his patients,
j he said.
Statistic* of Growth.
! in her annual report, Mrs. B. B.
Munford, president of the Cn-operntlve
Bducational Association, gave some
Important statistics of the growth of
the public schools In Virginia:
"In the year 1903,. previous to the
organization of the Co-operntlvo Edn
j co>t!onul Association, the public school
j property of the Slate of Virginia wns
valued at ft.000.000. '
To-dav II is valued at $8,555.343. In
IMi3 the total expenditure for support
of public schools was $2,136,36t. To?
day It is. $1.600,000. In 1903 local tax?
ation furnished of this sum $1..126,G03,
nbout 50 per cent ; to-day It furnishes
$2,900,000, about 02 .per cent. In 1903
only 50 per cent, of Virginia's school
children were, enrolled nnd 33 per cent.
In actual attendance; to-dny S3 per
cent., or five-sixths of the children of
the Suste aro enrolled and 43 per cent.,
three-sevenths, is in attendance- The
co?t of education in 1303 per child en
lolled per month of the school term
was TO cents: to-day it Is $1.60."
Feature of Afternoon.
T\ic meeting of the Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools was
a leading feature of the afternoon ses?
sion. Promotion of pupils In high
?chools and requisites for entrance
Into universities and collegos were dis?
cussed. Professor W. M. Thornton, of
the University of Virginia, spoke on
! the topic. "Should Colleges and Uni?
versities Decline to Receive the Cer
| tlflcutes of Pupils Who Have Been
Graduated from High Schools Using
! the Exemption Plan?"
j Professor Thornton contended for the
? time-honored plan of examination,
. promotlouu and admissions, and said
i the university should not receive a
I pupil upon the recommendation of the
; high school unless that high school
. had conducted un examination on a
! standard that had been accepted as a
! sufficient tost by the university.
Willis A. Jenkins, superintendent of
I sclipols of Newport News, took the
same position, while the merit system
I was defended by F, B. Fitzpatrick,
principal of the Ronnoke High School
Officers for the next year wore elect?
ed as follows:
